    About this ebook

    A note from the author.

    This is a short story. Before you start, I think I ought to clear something up.

    'Short' to me, means a piece of writing that is not long.

    My shorts are character sketches, scenes, events, experiements that come in under five thousand words. So, 'short' here is a description of length, not a genre or a specifc way of presenting a plot. And because they're experimental, they are free.
